​ Vous voilà!

We have heard it in the halls: "We have another FULL week of school??" Yes. Believe me, it's rampant. It could be the school motto right now. Things are getting crazy up in here. Wednesday, I looked out my classroom window and what to my wondering eyes should appear but two students with their horses. Legend has it that if a student in Montana rides a horse to school, the school must provide food and shelter for the day. I'm not sure that this is still the case, but have heard it mentioned on a number of occasions, so I don't doubt the plausibility of such a law in Montana. After all, in Montana, it is illegal for married women to go fishing alone on Sundays, and illegal for unmarried women to fish alone at all. Ummm...yeah. Also, if you are vacationing in Helena, don't even THINK about doing any folfing at night. You'll get sent to the slammer for sure on that one.

Just to continue on our Crazy Train...yesterday I was playing a review game with my 6th period class. All was well. Kids were engaged. You could practically see the lightbulb popping on in all of their enlightenment. We saw a flicker out the window. This flicker turned out to be a dollar bill attached to a string. It had been lowered down from a third floor window. Needless to say, we took the dollar (returned it later), and the string was quickly pulled back up. Next came a note that said, "we're hungry." What else would I have in my classroom, but croissants? I'm a French teacher after all. So, we tied the croissant to the string, which was then quickly hoisted up and gobbled up. Bizarre. Hilarious, but weird! :)
